Content warning: This episode discusses domestic violence and homicide. The man mentioned is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Listener discretion advised.
What this episode is aboutNikki picks up the timeline after last week's pushback to "small podcast notwithstanding." We hear how viral moments (Dec 2023) briefly opened doors—then how 2024 became a year of contracts, clauses, and zero coverage. Inside: reconnection with Laurie "Swifty" Swift, two viral breakthroughs, documentary interest and pullbacks, a national-TV almost, a chilling FB request from Russell Peterson, DNA results confirming a brother on Nikki's father's side, the validation from Mike Hansen (TX attorney)—and the decision to stop waiting and build a studio with her dad.
Next episode: opens with Mike Hansen on Stacy's case, then the closet-to-studio build, bringing the series to "now."
